“Terry is an awesome Rover sitter! He took care of our dog Roxie several days while we were in town from WA visiting family in Texas. He treated Roxie as if she was one of his regulars, and sent us updates each day he had her. We were able to enjoy day trips around the Denton area knowing Roxie was having her own play days at Terry's! We will definitely contact Terry again anytime we return to the area.”
“Chelsea was great with our young german shepherd. We were able to leave her all day without worry, and pick up/drop off was super easy. She was very friendly and we would be happy to have her watch our dog again!”
“Christy did an amazing job watching my Sheepadoodle. He loves playing with her dogs. She did a great job of keeping me informed of everything and how my dog was doing. I would 100% recommend her to anyone!!!”
About: I’ve worked and lived with animals my entire life. I’ve taken dog training classes and absolutely love dogs. This gives me the opportunity to do what I love without owning more than one dog and being able to stay home the days I need to. I’ll send updates and promise to make it an enjoyable and loved experience for everyone 🤍 Nice Clean and Safe environment. This job allows me to enjoy your pets on the days I’m free, home alone and able to give your pet all the attention he or she needs. I have a pretty large open space indoors. I don’t have the biggest yard but really enjoy walks. Quiet and clean environment. I allow pets to roam freely and give all the love and attention.

About: I found dog rescue over two years ago and it completely changed my life and opened my heart. I've been involved in rescue and have saved thirteen dogs over the past two years.

Your baby will receive the utmost care and lots of snuggles and attention. I work part-time from home, so i'm always home with my dogs and they're usually laying on my lap or next to me. I'm available to take them on Daily to 2× a day walks and lots of snuggles and pets. I have a large home with a secure fenced backyard.

“Luda was great at baby sitting my pup. Frequently text her for updates on how he was doing since it was my first time using her services and she responded in a timely manner with many pictures. Would definitely recommend her as a sitter and will use her services in the future.”
About: What sets me apart is my combination of hands on experience, patience, and a genuine commitment to understanding each pet’s individual needs. I’ve worked with a wide range of animals, including energetic puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior pets who require gentler, slower-paced care and close attention to comfort and mobility. I’m confident handling feeding routines, administering basic medications, and managing pets with anxiety or special quirks. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, create a calm environment, and communicate consistently with owners so they feel fully at ease while they’re away. Whether it’s reinforcing positive training for puppies, offering mobility support and extra patience for seniors, or giving plenty of love and playtime to pets of any age, I’m committed to providing reliable, compassionate care that feels like an extension of your own home. For all pet care needs a child will be with me at all times. Your dogs MUST be child friendly. For dog sitting requests in the home, I do not stay the night. If you are nearby to Denton, TX, I can do 3-4 visits drop by daily. Father away will be 1-2 times for a drop by visit. Please be aware before booking a house sitting request. Pet care is a natural part of my routine, and I build my schedule around providing consistent attention and support. I’m used to planning my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I keep a flexible schedule so I can accommodate pets who need mid-day visits or a little extra time. Throughout the week, I make sure each pet gets the right balance of exercise, companionship, and calm downtime. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in. It is something I prioritize and enjoy as part of my everyday rhythm especially having 3 dogs of my own! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding instructions, walk schedules, and training preferences exactly as given. I also make sure to keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable! I do that by having refreshing water, tidying up food areas, and giving plenty of playtime or quiet time depending on what the pet needs. I stay attentive to their behavior and well-being. I also send regular updates so their owners feel confident and connected. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm and welcoming space that’s pet-friendly and supervised. Having three dogs of my own plus accommodating for others will be fun! I provide structured play, exercise, and rest. I make sure pets feel secure, whether that means cozy spots to relax or engaging activities to burn energy. I treat every pet like part of the family by being patient, promoting safety, and with lots of love and consistency. For all pet care needs a child will be with me at all times.

“The best care Harley and I could ever ask for 🤍 Nana is the sweetest soul, and her pups are the cutest, gentlest little ones. Thank you for giving Harley such a fun-filled day full of love, play, and happiness 🐶🤍”
About: I've had pet dogs my entire life, from puppies all the way to the stubborn old dog living with me now! I have also volunteered at animal shelters for a total of five years, where I learned a lot about how to care for various ages and breeds of dogs. Additionally, my current dog is a senior and is partially blind and deaf, so I am experienced in caring for older dogs who may have special needs. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have a very flexible schedule! I can definitely accommodate any walks or potty breaks your pup might need, and I can also be home if your pup has separation anxiety or needs a closer eye kept on them. I have a fenced yard and two children with lots of energy to keep your pup entertained! My neighborhood has plenty of walking trails, as well as a dog park. I do have a dog in my home, as well; he is a senior and very laid-back and calm. So we are also happy to hang out with lower energy dogs who might just enjoy snuggles and lots of naps.
About: As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and respect each pet’s unique routine and preferences. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I intentionally limit visits to only two dogs at a time, allowing me to provide focused, personalized care. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins so each pet receives consistent attention throughout the day. Since I work remotely, I’m home most of the time, ensuring pets are never left alone for long. My spouse also supports me in providing care, adding an extra layer of attention and supervision—so every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I provide loving, attentive care in a safe environment. My home has a secure fenced yard for supervised play and potty breaks, a friendly, neutered resident dog, and I can crate pets if needed. I follow each pet’s routine with feedings, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection, ensuring they feel comfortable and well cared for at all times.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carter
Janish was great with my Oreo! I had just gotten him and wasn’t completely sure how he’d respond to certain things and she was very understanding of that. She kept me very updated with how and what he was doing along with photos and videos throughout his stay. Her pets were also great with Oreo and he loved playing with them. I would highly recommend her to watch your pet as she will take great care of them and love them like her own!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Carter is $17 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $37 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,281 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Carter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Carter commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 2,281 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of TX. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
